Chapter 111: Fierce Battle (22)

Nanlin was shaken violently, and he stared in disbelief at the tip of the arrow that suddenly came out of his throat, his eyes widened, and he slowly fell from his warhorse.

Nanlin couldn't believe that he and Zhao Yun had only fought for one round, and in such a short time after such a hand-to-hand encounter, Zhao Yun was actually able to take off the hard bow and shoot a fatal arrow at him, and Nanlin was dumbfounded.

After Nanlin was killed by Zhao Yun and fell off his horse, his own soldiers immediately gave up their opponents, and they didn't even look at the enemy, and directly began to surround Zhao Yun's side, they wanted to avenge Nanlin.

After Zhao Yun killed Nanlin with a bow and arrow, he casually took out an ordinary bow and arrow in the quiver and began to shoot at the cavalry who were still resisting.

In just a moment, Zhao Yun had already killed four or five Wuhuan cavalry, and he saw the remaining Wuhuan cavalry rushing towards him like a mad tiger, he put away the hard bow, and the bright silver spear was lightly picked up with his foot, then he grasped it in his hand and quickly rushed towards those Wuhuan cavalry.

Zhao Yun's bright silver spear flew up and down, almost every shot could knock or pick up a cavalryman, and the Wuhuan cavalry in front of Zhao Yun had no enemy, and was killed by Zhao Yun in an instant.

Zhao Yun's bravery inspired the fighting spirit of the Han soldiers, the enemy commander was dead, and the remaining cavalry could not organize an effective way of attack, and they had already declared their defeat, and they had to hurry up and kill these people to get more credit.

After Nanlin was killed, that is, a cup of tea, the remaining Wuhuan cavalry was killed by the cavalry of the Han army.

Zhao Yun glanced at the Wuhuan cavalry who were still desperately resisting, and he ordered the banner soldiers to raise their banners, and let the cavalry on both wings carry out harassing long-range strikes on the defense line formed by the Wuhuan infantry, waiting for the arrival of Gongsun Xu's army.

Gongsun Da saw that there was no danger on the side of the Chinese army, and after hearing Zhao Yun's arrangement, he took the lead and personally led a team of cavalry who were good at shooting to attack the infantry battlefield.

Zhao Yun and Gongsun Da had explained before that after killing these cavalry in Nanlin, the cavalry should not rush to the position of the Wuhuan infantry, but simply harass and attack, and the general attack should wait for the infantry led by Gongsun Xu to come up and then consider.

The cavalry is the treasure in the hands of Gongsun Xu, and at this time, it is absolutely impossible to lose a lot of money because of grabbing more credit, and these death squads led by Nanlin alone have already made Zhao Yun feel a kind of pressure.

After the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Da harassed the Wuhuan infantry battlefield for two rounds, Gongsun Xu's infantry brigade had already reached the front of the two armies.

Gongsun Xu saw that Zhao Yun and Gongsun had made dumplings for all the cavalry of Nanlin, and there was no joy on his face.

The cavalry is his baby bump, and in such a pursuit battle, his cavalry actually lost so much, Gongsun Xuzhen couldn't be happy.

He looked at the large formation formed by the Wuhuan infantry over there, and did not order a strong attack, but let the troops advance slowly, and he wanted to deal a devastating blow to these Wuhuan infantry with long-range attacks.

The speed of this march was relatively fast, and Gongsun Xu did not bring too many catapults, but only a few.

But what! Gongsun continued to believe that it was these trebuchets that would be able to make those Wuhuan infantry collapse.

The power of trebuchets had only been seen by the cavalry of Wuhuan before, and these infantry were far away from them, and now they should not have seen this big killing weapon, and even if there was some fear in their hearts, they would not be great.

As soon as the trebuchet on his side came out and inflicted a few rounds of devastating blows on the middle area of the Nanlin infantry, these Wuhuan infantry would definitely collapse quickly, and when that time appeared, it would be time for the Han cavalry to show their might.

After Gongsun gave the order for the trebuchet to attack, several trebuchets began to frantically load stones and throw them at the Wuhuan infantry battle array.

These trebuchets continued to throw stones, and the archers under Gongsun Xu reached the point where the bows and arrows could reach the Wuhuan infantry position, and began to throw irregular and irregular projectiles at the enemy.

In the face of several rounds of long-distance projectiles from Gongsun cavalry, these Wuhuan infantry were already miserable, and Gongsun Xu led a large army of infantry to press, and even began trebuchets and intensive bow and arrow throwing.

Originally, the archers of the Wuhuan infantry were far inferior to the archers of the Han army, and the part of the trebuchet hit before was the position of the archers.

If Nanlin pressed the formation at this time, these soldiers would be able to hold out for a while, but now that Nanlin and those cavalry have been killed by the soldiers of the Han army, the remaining generals can't convince them at all.

The more ghosts cried and howled in the infantry array, the greater the pressure on their hearts.

Those flying rocks can basically be said to die at the touch of it, and those arrows that rain like rain will take their lives even faster.

This battle is simply impossible to fight, they have not even touched the enemy, they have lost nearly a third of the soldiers, if they continue to hold on to this place, the enemy on the side of the Han army will not have to spend any effort at all, but if they continue to fight like this, they will sooner or later be killed by these Han troops.

Some of the Wuhuan infantry began to retreat in their hearts, but the military order was like a mountain, and there was a warlord team behind them, if they fled now, they would have been killed by the soldiers of the warlord team before they could escape from this place.

They were all hoping that soldiers who thought like them would be the first to flee, or that the generals of the army would not be able to support them and order a retreat.

These soldiers and generals naturally have very different ideas, they just serve as soldiers to fight, as long as they have food and money to support their families.

As for the consequences of their rout at this time, they really don't have that much time to think about it.

The generals under Nan Lin knew that now they were blocking Gongsun Xu's large army in this narrow place, and once they chose to retreat, they would immediately collapse and flee.

There were thousands of cavalry on the Han army's side, and as long as their infantry lost the protection of their position, they were lambs to the slaughter, and they had no ability to compete with the cavalry at all.

They were afraid of the blow of Gongsun Xu's trebuchet, but they understood a truth in their hearts, now at this time, they had to hold on to this place, they had to gamble, and the number of stones on Gongsun Xu's side was getting smaller and smaller......
